Then you give them a 'life attribute' in which they live by.The sim character you make has goals they must meet. Along with trying to reach their goals they must maintain their motives which include, hunger, bladder, social, hygiene, fun, room/environment, energy, and comfort. The character is also given money to start off with to build a home, buy food and various items. In order to make more money they have to get a job and build up to a career. The money is also used to pay bills that comes once a week in the mailbox. Basically The Sims teaches people how to spend their money, take care of a person, reach goals, and etc.
Connecting The Sims to the classroom
- Allows students to explore the real life without leaving the classroom. - Teaches students to work with money by having them earn jobs, pay bills, buy things for their home and for their character. - Teaches responsibilities by allowing students to work with a Sim by having them take care and meet the needs of their character. (their sims can die)
